TUBE STEAK BOOGIE



Below is the text of an ad (as far as I can remember it) that runs at least three times per game on every Phillies radio broadcast:






MAN: Come on, throw it in there!



(crowd cheering, Announcer voice-over for Hatfield Phillies Franks)



MAN: Put some mustard on it, will ya?



(more cheering, more Announcer voice-over)



MAN: What a dog!



WOMAN: Knock it off, Fred! The neighbors will call the police...again.






PLEASE, MAKE IT STOP! Three times per game times 162 games, that's 486 times total. You figure I listen to parts of 50 games on the radio every year, so that's 150 times this year I might end up hearing this putrescent ode to processed pork with distinct overtones of domestic violence. I'll pay good money if you can make it stop. I'm not joking. E-mail me today.
